Yes, that must be it, lag time on the high volume and short campaigns. I also wonder though if they are infecting a zillion pc’s and have zombies broadcasts
from all over the place. It’s a security problem, not just a spamming one. Ok, will look to see if I can upgrade, and amalgamate with my own changes. Carl J.

By the time I have people give me a message to research Sniffer and the other tests are blocking that campaign, but a lot get through before they are detected. I will say that my system was rather out of date as far as the versions of Declude, Sniffer, Filters, and such. A couple of days ago I got some help and we updated everything in Declude and Smartermail. After the update I will say that some spam still gets through, but it is a lot better than it was. From: Carl Wagar <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2014 11:41 AM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [MBF] increasingly useless Has anyone found that in the last two months that there are an awful lot of spams getting through the filters – that sniffer is not detecting and none of the black lists are flagging it. It’s all subtle health conditions or newsy political issues etc that contain a bogus sender names that are similar to the subject and isn’t getting filtered. Or if it is, it is only mid-level ‘subject’ weights instead of ‘hold’ weights. It just seems that the spammers are at a whole new level. I am daily having to manually add new keywords and phrases to my spam and scam filters. It’s not that the level of spam has increased but that a certain segment of spam is completely undetected and if I didn’t keep ahead of it, the perception would be that the filters are degrading badly. Is there a place we can forward these to help someone or anyone improve things? Comments? Thanks. Carl J.
